3 tools for on-the-go safety

March 30, 2011

Making sure all of your belongings are safe at all times is a tall order. Thankfully, there are some tools that make it much easier. Portable security devices can be hard to find, but we have found several that work quite well.

Laptop privacy screens

Privacy can be a major issue if you do a lot of work in public. Often, if your typeface is large enough for you to see it, it’s probably large enough for someone else to see it too. That’s what these privacy screens are for.

People who are looking at your screen from an angle will have an obstructed view. The privacy screen darkens your laptop screen, which is especially helpful for when you are taking a look at sensitive data that you don’t want anyone else to see – no more crouching over your laptop to cover everything.

Handheld paper shredder

We all know the benefits of shredding documents that have personal or business information on them. Sometimes, it’s not so easy to do. With a handheld shredder, destroying sensitive documents is a simple task that can be a huge help in keeping your data protected.

Mandylion Password Manager

Secure passwords are hard to think of. Even when you do this, that password should only be used for one account so you have to do it once again next time.

The Mandylion Password Manager eliminates that problem and makes it easy to keep track of all of those strong passwords you create. With its “military-grade password protection,” this device is great for anyone who has trouble coming up with and remembering passwords – and you can even attach it to your keychain!

For those of us who travel or even do business at the coffee shop every now and then, security is essential. These tools are easy to transport and make constant security much more feasible.
